"We aren't the worst offender, so don't ask us to stop offending" is not a compelling argument.
And I'm not even sure what you think if we expand your views beyond this one issue. That collapse is inevitable, so we'd better keep law and order today even if it hastens chaos tomorrow? That we shouldn't try a little bit because it's actually going to take a lot? That people should accept that they're doomed and just sit down with that quietly instead of making elected officials uncomfortable about inaction?

Can the lawyers be penalized for this
If so, that's insane, it's literally peaceful protesting

Why the fuck would per capita matter? They're MASSIVELY HIGHER THAN ALL OF THE DEVELOPED WORLD.
If you think Britain owes some kind of equity debt for carbon, fine. The British empire can fade into obscurity.

Also the current crisis with Russia demands more oil production, otherwise even more economic collapse will happen.

Even though it's about the UK, I can sadly also attest that exactly the same thoughts go around in the Dutch government, under the lead of Shell's bed partner Mark Rutte.

Ron DeSantis's definition is a hilarious example of saying the quiet part out loud.

And the emergency setvices.
Everyone, basically.
Perhaps counter-protesters could pre-emptively inconvenience these people by locking them in their houses when they plan to go and ‘protest’.

Then what these protesters have done isn’t peaceful. They have repeatedly caused massive indiscriminate congestion of roads, including stopping emergency services.

Appointed. This is not a political job. Usually they're veteran barristers (trial lawyers) of at least 15 years who's job it is is to be the prosecutor on behalf of the crown (just a fancy way of saying the state), hence Kings Counsel.
Recourse here is that they're gonna be put before the bar and since they broken the cab rank rule which specifies that a barrister must take a case they are qualified for, provided they are available to do so.

Are they elected or appointed? While uncommon, these type of things happen occasionally in the us as well and the recourse is an election recall and re-election

Think that probably explains it. Slow news day, I suppose?

Exact same thing happened to me, too! Except it was my grandparents lying on the beach, none the wiser.
I’m sort of afraid of water to this day. I learned to swim later, but I’ve never felt completely comfortable in water, and the discomfort grows with age.
